This is EXCELLENT news. It is also a testament to the power of the internet. Y'all know that the rating agencies are in collusion with the banks. BUT, after a certain point, the agencies HAVE to report the obvious. There was an article in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi about Goldman. Because of that ...

I have made many wrongs of passage. The phrase "It seemed like a good idea at the time" has come in handy on more than one occasion. What Leo said... I've got SO many stories of drunken, stoned, or tripped-out craziness, near-death experiences, brushes with the law, etc. that start out with, "Well,...

"What is Life?"

A great George Harrison song!

By the way, I can't seem to get the eplaya "YouTube" preview function, where you see the still image of the unplayed video in your post, to work anymore. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Thanks y'all!

I've got another one - the song that saved Earth from The Martians.

Here's a link to a pretty hilarious story that was posted here on eplaya back in 2007 "How I Met David Best (And Took His Keys)"

Swam a mile last night at the Y. It's the first time I've swum in three weeks, since I "rolled" my ankle (like a dumbass, stepping down a little two-step curb) while out walking a few weeks ago. The ankle's been healing up slowly but surely. Last night in the pool, freestyle was only slightly painfu...

I used to have a history teacher in 7th grade who routinely called us, his students, "a bunch of lollygaggers and dillydaffers." How about this Shakespearean insult, "Thou varlet!" A varlet is a vulgar base sort of person; a "knave" or "rapscallion" if you will. I also learned this insult from watch...

A personal favorite Ron:


Although I still like Mick Taylor better.

Having actually met and hung out with DVD Burner a few times, I think he's a really intelligent, cool, fun guy to be around. Of course he's got his quirks like the rest of us, but I've had a blast every time we've gone "out on the town"

The best things about hippie culture IMO, in no particular order, are:
1. The Drugs
2. Hippie Chicks (and pseudo hippie chicks, as previously noted by Simon - yum!)
3. Tie dye!
4. The Music (Grateful Dead, Phish, Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, etc., etc.)

I drive like Mr. Wolf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOhVFDCfD-8 What Dr. Jet S. said. I'm an aggressive driver. I basically want everyone to get out of my way. If people are poking along in the left lane, I tailgate them until they get out of the way. If the slowpoke in the left lane doesn't get ...

Well, now it's official. I'm one of the most eligible singles in this town. Here's the article: http://www.chatterchattanooga.com/news/2011/jan/31/single-city/ I'm the guy in the chartreuse green shirt about halfway down the page. Cool! Just now seeing this! Oh and by the way, RING IS ONE OF, IF NO...

BTW C.f.M., I know we both go to Transformus, but I've never had the pleasure of meeting you face-to-face. Hopefully we can make that happen this coming event. I've thrown my hat in the ring to be the Greeters Team Lead this year. Doubtful, what with your tie-dye/Grateful Dead issue. :cry: Hahahaha...

...not to be confused with the Young Life leader, a ha ha ha! (<---- Covenant alum) Is Greyfriar's still there? My friends opened that up back when I was in college at CC.

From a thermodynamic point of view, addition of acetone should actually lower mileage. From the wikipedia page on "Heat of Combustion" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion ) "The heating value or calorific value of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of ...

I got a gift certificate to Lowe's, which I used to buy a new garbage disposal. Not very sexy, but... Wait, on second thought, for a disposal, it actually IS pretty sexy! It's an Insinkerator, whisper quiet, 3/4 horsepower, AND it has auto-reverse. It only took me a couple of hours to remove the old...

Here's an interesting debate on Democracy Now! between two feminists regarding whether or not Mr. Assange's alleged activities constitue sexual assault or not: http://www.democracynow.org/2010/12/20/naomi_wolf_vs_jaclyn_friedman_a Naomi Wolf argues that Mr. Assange's prosecution for the alleged sexu...

This is hilarious! I've been to Bonnaroo six times and this parody pretty much nails it (for most people, not ME, of course - I'm a pro, or at least should be one by now).

Well that sounds like a definite maybe if I ever heard one. We've all seen the planes hit the buildings. We've all learned the buildings were designed to withstand a hit from a Boeing 707 which was the largest airliner at the time. And yeah, I've seen the pictures of the supposed shearing of suppor...

I signed up for eplaya in 2004, when I started getting ready to go to Burning Man for my first (and so far only) time. I thought, "Hmmm... What I do want to use as a screen name? Hmmm..." Then "Ring of Fire!" was the first thing that popped into my head. I thought, "Perfect! They burn shit at Burnin...

Fuck!!! Well, it's official, I have Type II diabetes, which is just fucking great. I've had my fasting blood sugar done at the doctor's office twice now. The first time it was 199 mg/dL. Today it was 228. The doc says, given my family history of diabetes, I shouldn't be any higher than about 140. Th...
